Milk Chocolate Bundt Cake

From the kitchen of OnePerfect Bite...This cake, now known as the Classic Hershey Bar Cake, has been around for a long time and a lot of people have experimented with it. It was developed in the Hershey test kitchens back in the day when chocolate syrup came in a can and had to be opened with a church key. Since then, eager cooks have tried to make it their own by making small changes to the original recipe. I've tried many of them because I like to mix things up a bit and this is the type of cake that travels well, making it perfect for picnics or church suppers. While I won't be talking numbers, I've been to a lot of picnics and church suppers in my day, so I've a good working relationship with this cake and I've made it a lot. It is a sweet cake, actually sweeter than I like, but it is always well-received and disappears before it has a chance to stale. I've come full circle on recipes for making it. I began with the one that came from the Hershey kitchen and that's the one I've finally settled on. This is very easy to make and there is little that can go wrong, save for over-baking it. Milk chocolate cakes have a slightly anemic appearance, so, I like to sprinkle this one confectioners' sugar before serving. It is also lovely when served with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I think those of you who try the cake will enjoy it. Here's the recipe.

I've never heard about this cake before, which is strange because I love bundt cakes and I love chocolate. There's something about the color and the simplicity of this cake that really appeals to me. I always seem to be baking with dark chocolate, so this would be a nice change. Did someone say you can eat it for breakfast??? I'm there.

Can you believe I've never heard of this cake before? It needs to be made in my house soon! Thank you for sharing with me, my friend! I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday. As always...this looks delicious (and I'm sure it tastes even better)!

It looks so dense and full of deliciousness!! I'm such a huge fan of Bundt Cakes, really, I am!!! Some think they are too simple, but that's what I love about them, simple, but yet packed with textures and flavors.
